1. Good Morning Jacqui,

Thats awesome!!

I have growed fondly of this area in the short period of time I have been here with Karl. Nothing compares to it where I have been and explored. I am originally from Georgia (born and raised there-true Southern Peach) of course the caves,mountains and terrain we have there does not compare to this area here.  Karl grew up in Kentucky and he is all the time comparing the region here to the region in Kentucky (we will eventually get back up there so he can show me the area where he grew up).

Hi Everyone!  I am currently living on the far west end of Panama City Beach, and work for one of the best Hospitals in Nowrthwest, FL.  Thats not a plug, just a reference to the fact that I am in the financial arena of the healthcare industry. I am active in the cub/boy scouts, and enjoy being out doors.  Karl's invitation to join the group was right in line with my love of the outdoors.  I am also a member of the Friends of Econfine Creek group here on Care2.  Our goal is to promote the health of the Econfina watershed through education of the local population.  After all, it supplies PC with over 80% of thier drinking water.  For those who have canoed the Econfina, they know what a lovely treasure we have so close by.

I was interested in the conversations about KY.  I too (small world huh?) spent 4 years in KY.  I got my undergraduate degree from Centre College of KY way back in 1977.  Centre is just south of Lexington in Danville, KY.  The country side is beautiful there, and yes I can see many resembalances to it in the northern part of the panhandle.  Needless to say, there weren't many sandy beaches in KY like we have here in PCB.

I have rambled enough for now.  Take care, and Leave No Trace.

Hello everyone

I recently moved here(Dade City) from Georgia, I was very active there with the Charlie Elliott Wildlife Center and Georgia Women In the Outdoors. I was a volunteer and Instructor for both. I taught Wild Plant Education, Survival Use of Plants as well as edible and Medical classes. The only reason i am going on about all this is that I would truly like to get envolved down here with like programs and or people. I moved here because of going through a divorce at 57, I wanted to be near my family. However I am definately not ready for the shuffle board set, LOL. I am a Nurse by profession and after a long week I am ready for the outdoors but am not comfortable yet to go venturing on my own. I would love to hear about what Florida has to offer  for me and maybe find some groupps to go adventuring with. While my main interest is the plants I love all wildlife and and nature, outdoors.

I look forward to learning from all of you.

Linda

Good Morning Everyone!

Larry and Linda R

to the group! We look forward to getting to know both of you!

Larry,  Karl has done studies of Econfina Creek and has spoke of the natural beauty of it as well.It is one of many palces we are planning on canoeing or visiting sometime soon.

Linda,   I too moved here earlier this year from my native home of Georgia. Was born and raised there spent all of my adult years in the Gwinnett County area (at least the last 17 years).

I do invite everyone here as members to get involved with the activites that NWFLEC does plan.   Some of the events that was held earlier this year was a Wildlife Day Event out at Florida Caverns, we also had a booth set up at the Fine Swine and Dine Festival that was held at Citizens Lodge.  You can check the website for upcoming events and we will have them posted here as well.

Hi.  My name is Meg and I live in Vidalia, GA. Vidalia is in the southern part of GA, about 1 1/2 hours to the coast.  I spend as much time as I can at Jekyll Island, which is very close to the Fla line.  I am very interested in environmental/conservation issues.

I work as a Health Literacy and GED instructor thru the local college.  I love nature, art and am an amateur photographer.  I'd love to one day write as well.  I have a 12 year old daughter.

Look forward to getting to know you.  Happy Thanksgiving!

Meg

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and was able to spend it with the ones you hold near and dear to your heart.  Karl and I have been away and did enjoy some relaxing time in Georgia for the holiday and now its back to saving this beautiful earth we have around us( not that we set it aside while we where gone and the little critters that call it home.

Hi Karl & Sandi!  Sandi, I know you worked here in Cummng, GA at one time and I just wanted to share that I lived in Jax., FL for about six years back in the mid 70's.  I still visit my sister there and enjoy the beaches and "Theme Parks"! 

I AM a member of too many groups and so I AM trying to sort out the ones closest to MY Heart because there are many worthy causes here on Care2.  I AM embarrassed to admit this, but I just started joining every group that meant something too ME and it did not take long for ME to become the "Queen of Chaos" and could not keep up. 

I look forward to this group's discussions and hope that some discussions within other groups that I AM active in (more global than local regarding environmental issues) can mutually benefit one another!

ALL MY LOVE & LIGHT

Ann Marie,

Glad to have you , as well as all the new members here with us.

One question for you,

How did you know that I used to work in Cumming, Ga?

Did you visit where I use to  work at?

Got me curious because it is not something that I have stated in my profile here.
